Ingredients:  
1 (9" round) sheet cake -your favorite flavor

1/2 gallon of your favorite ice cream (or 2 or 3 different flavors)

3 egg whites

3/8 tsp. cream of tarter (1/8tsp per egg white)

1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Line a 7 inch diameter bowl (large enough to hold 1/2 gallon ice cream) with waxed paper. Let ice cream soften until it is workable. Pack ice cream tightly in the wax paper lined bowl. Return bowl to freezer until it hardens (approx. 24 hrs.).

Place cake in a pie pan slightly larger than the cake. Unmold the ice cream centering it on the cake. Be sure to remove all wax paper. Do not trim the cake.

When ready to assemble, beat egg whites until foamy. Add tartar and whip until stiff. Gradually add the sugar, a few spoonfuls at a time, beating the whole time. Frost cake and ice cream with meringue, covering completely, be sure to "seal" the cake and ice cream with the meringue to the pan.

Bake in preheated oven at 450 degrees for 6-7 minutes until meringue peaks are golden.

Store in freezer until serving time.
